What To Do When You Have a Biohazard Emergency

The need for biohazard or hazmat cleaning usually comes with little or no warning. And it can be truly overwhelming.

Dealing with hazardous materials is best left to experienced, certified professionals. But if you find yourself in such a traumatic incident, here are a few important things to remember.

Call Emergency Personnel

Emergency services should be called in a life-threatening situation.

Do Not Attempt Any Cleaning Yourself

Cleaning of any kind could interfere with a possible investigation and expose you to harmful contaminated materials.

3.svg

Stay Out Of The Area

Stay out of any affected areas. There may be potentially dangerous hazardous materials left behind.

4.svg

Treat All Bodily Fluids As Contaminated

Do not touch or handle items that might be contaminated with extremely harmful bodily fluids. And always treat bodily fluids as if they’re contaminated.

After a basement flood, ServePro showed up the same day I called for help. The guys, especially Mike, were so helpful, on time, and kept us updated on every detail of the clean up. I would highly recommend ServePro if a disaster were to ever happen in your home.

After our dog was sprayed by a skunk, we reached out to Servpro for help, and we’re so glad we did. I spoke with Jacqueline, who was extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and easy to communicate with. She stayed in touch regularly and was very accessible throughout the entire process. Jacqueline was also incredibly accommodating, working around both my wife’s and my schedule to make things as convenient as possible. The team that came out to perform the fogging service was professional, courteous, and efficient. They made a frustrating situation much easier to deal with. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Servpro again if I ever need their services in the future. Highly recommend!
